Services Provided

• Vendor Identification/Selection:

  We begin with a technical review & process capability analysis in order to locate appropriate supplier(s) for the business being proposed. Once suitable vendors have been identified, we review the delivery requirements/target pricing and perform a cost comparison analysis between qualified vendors to better define a suitable partner.

• Engineering Design/Documentation Review:

  This is done to ensure manufacturability and reveal and recommend any cost-effective design changes that could yield a benefit in cost and or manufacturability of the commodity being sourced.

• Pre-Production Engineering:

  The engineering team generates one complete set of datafile plot-outs for correlation & verification of the supplier's cam plot. Once approved, engineering checks & approves the supplier's working A/W & checks the drill program on a physically drilled sample for hole size & location and to determine if there are any missing holes. Lastly, engineering reviews and approves the plating fixture to guarantee that there are no missing test points.
